Turing structures in a manmade interface
In 1952, Alan Turing, the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, proposed that certain repetitive natural patterns may be produced by the interaction of two specific substances through the reaction-diffusion process. In this system,.....»»
Team discovers protein crucial for B cell differentiation and antibodies
A cell nucleus is a busy place. Cellular proteins twist and pull DNA, folding the genome into intricate 3D structures that support functioning of its coding parts......»»
The way a sperm tail moves can be explained by mathematics worked out by Alan Turing
Alan Turing might be best know for his work helping to crack Germany's "Enigma" communications code during the second world war. But he also came up with a theory where patterns can form just through chemical compounds spreading out (diffusing) and r.....»»
Dynamic bio-interface between mussel tissue and byssus plays important role in quick release
A team of chemists at McGill University, working with a colleague from Charité-Universitätsmedizin, in Germany, has uncovered part of the process used by mussels to bind to rocks and to quickly release from them when conditions warrant......»»
Bioinspired self-assembled colloidal collectives of active matter systems
Active matter systems feature unique behaviors that include collective self-assembly structures and collective migration. However, the efforts to realize collective entities in spaces without wall-adhered support, in order to conduct three-dimensiona.....»»
First experimental evidence of hopfions in crystals: Research opens up new dimension for future technology
Hopfions, magnetic spin structures predicted decades ago, have become a hot and challenging research topic in recent years. In a study published in Nature, the first experimental evidence is presented by a Swedish-German-Chinese research collaboratio.....»»
The formation of switchable and metastable discrete structures through chiral self-sorting
A paper titled "Thermo-/Mechano-Chromic Chiral Coordination Dimer: Formation of Switchable and Metastable Discrete Structure through Chiral Self-Sorting" describes chiral coordination dimers that emerge based on effectively exclusive chiral self-sort.....»»
Microautophagy is essential for preventing aging, finds lysosomes study
To age or not to age? How does aging affect organisms on a cellular level? What mechanisms help cells survive self-inflicted or external harm? It is known that lysosomes—critically important cellular structures—are crucial for digesting damaged c.....»»
Reshaping protein design with function-first, AI-guided engineering
A significant step forward in protein design from Generate Biomedicines, Massachusetts, has developed an AI that can generate feasible protein structures and predict the potential functionality of the proteins generated......»»
Bluesky hits 2M users; public web interface and federation coming
Invitation-only social media app Bluesky has just hit 2M users one year after launch, and just a couple of months after reaching the 1M user milestone … more….....»»
Deep within the Earth, iron oxide withstands extreme temperatures and pressures
The core–mantle boundary (CMB) is the interface between the Earth's iron metal core and the thick rocky layer of mantle just above the core. It is a world of extremes—temperatures thousands of degrees Fahrenheit and pressures over a million times.....»»
Researchers tune the speed of chirality switching
Chiral molecules can have dramatically different functional properties while sharing identical chemical formulae and almost identical structures. The molecular structure of two types of a chiral molecule—so-called enantiomers—are mirror images of.....»»
watchOS 10.2 beta 3 brings back gesture to swipe between watch faces
Apple has made many changes to the Apple Watch operating system interface with watchOS 10. Among these changes, watchOS 10 no longer lets users quickly swipe between different watch faces, frustrating some users. Luckily, this gesture is back with th.....»»
Did this chemical reaction create the building blocks of life on Earth?
How did life begin? How did chemical reactions on the early Earth create complex, self-replicating structures that developed into living things as we know them?.....»»
LastPass simplifies access to user data and information
LastPass announced the rollout of a new vault user interface (UI) on its iOS and Android mobile applications providing all users with easier, more streamlined access to data in their vaults. These changes unify the user experience with a modernized e.....»»
Exploring design rules for using supramolecular hydrogels to mimic the extracellular matrix
In human tissue, the cells are embedded in the extracellular matrix. This matrix is made up of fiber-like structures that provide firmness to the tissue, but also influence cell behavior and facilitate cell growth......»»
Literature provides valuable insight into the meanings of mobility and place
Cultural products, including works of literature, are not detached from reality; instead, they construct and challenge our understanding of the world. Literary texts show the complexity of reality, reflect on the power structures of the surrounding s.....»»
